Odessa, odyssée [English translation]

My love, I have to run

But I don't know whom or what I'm running after1

Odessa, odyssey2

I know there are things one should escape from

There are a hundred thousand looks to shun

Odessa, odyssey

I will come back as a conqueror

When everything here will be straight and upright

Odessa, odyssey

I'm leaving with half a smile3

But believe me I really don't do it on purpose

Odessa, odyssey

Odessa, odyssey

Odessa, odyssey

My love, I have read your letter

But I can't stir the past

Odessa, odyssey

You don't want to have nor to be

You really want to break everything around

Odessa, odyssey

I would like so much to reappear

But I'm afraid that of me, you've had enough4

Odessa, odyssey

Even if everything has to disappear

Promise me not to erase anything

Odessa, odyssey

Odessa, odyssey

Odessa, odyssey

My love I want to believe in it

But when I look among the ghosts

Odessa, odyssey

I always seem to see

The same people inside different bodies

Odessa, odyssey

Even in the evening light

I never can find the life before

Odessa, odyssey

Try to understand , try to know

If I still breathe and if I'm still alive

Odessa, odyssey

Odessa, odyssey

Odessa, odyssey (ter)
